a most valuable addition. It requires a very 
dry bank in poor gritty soil. A little seed 
scattered among the rocks in the spring will 
give the desired effect. 
CAMPANULA CENISIA (Switzerland ; Tyrol). 
This rare little Alpine wants special treat- 
ment until established. A mixture of sand, 
leaf-mould, and loam in equal parts suits it 
(grit added helps to relieve it from moisture). 
A well-drained part, with a south aspect

where it is elevated above the walk). It 
should be planted as near the walk as pos-

should be taken that the roots of other 
plants growing near do not run among the 
young growths, for if this is allowed it will 
soon die out. A top-dressing twice a year 
should be given—spring and autumn. The 
autumn top-dressing should be composed of grit 
only, so as to absorb any moisture that may 
rest upon it during the winter, and also to 
prevent snails from becoming too well 
acquainted with the young shoots in spring. 
C. Allonz is of much easier culture, requiring 
a south-west aspect. This should be planted in
